Up until 1754 it was common to write spanish sentences using only one exclamation or question mark at the end of them. It was in that year that the Royal Academy of Language (RAE) decided to introduce the inverted question and exclamation mark, to help understanding the meaning of a sentence. In spanish, unlike many other languages, the sintax does not help to differentiate if a sentence is a question or a statement.
